Md. Legislature Overrides Veto, Strengthens Green-Energy Standards [1]

"Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan may have the approval ratings. But the Democrats who control both houses of the state legislature have the votes.

Despite vigorous opposition from the popular Republican governor, the Maryland Senate voted 32 to 13 on Thursday to override Hogan’s veto of a bill to boost the state’s use of renewable energy.

The House of Delegates voted to reverse the veto earlier this week."
